I think I'll wait until something is launched. And going to Mars with people? I strongly doubt it. It would be far more cost effective to send drilling equipment, a water purifying plant/system and a suitable greenhouse with seeds, plus power. Then, with a source of water and crops growing, all on video, then, maybe.

Dynetics does have SLS as a backup option. Also I thought the leakage issue had been denied.

This is risk analysis language. What's the worst thing that could go wrong and how badly would it impact schedule if it does?
It's not saying that leaks ARE happening, just that leaks COULD happen (because cryo tank seals and gaskets are hard) and IF they do happen, it would affect schedule.
